Admin Bar Caching

    Hello!

    Currently refreshing our website and have found your plugin for managing a database of our users (which works great). The issue that I am having seems to be that when the plugin is enabled the admin bar will show up for users who are not logged in on certain pages. It looks like it is caching the page when I am logged in as the admin account.

    I can’t seem to figure it out. Tried disabling all of the other plugins to see if there was a conflict, but it occurs even if it is the only one enabled.

    Tried the “Use Alternate Session Method” to see if that was causing an issue but it had no change.

    Any ideas? If this continues I unfortunately won’t be able to use this plugin and will have to try and find an alternative.

    Thank you in advance!

    The plugin does not use any form of browser or page caching, so it wouldn’t be directly responsible for something like that.

    Is this happening on a separate computer, or is it the same computer that you are using to log in as an admin?

    I originally noticed it on the same computer (through an incognito browser) but was ignoring it until I went to show the page to someone else on a separate computer and the first time they loaded up the page the admin bar was showing as logged into the admin account.

    Throughout all my testing I was using both my own computer and having the other computer page reloaded (through incognito mode) and it would show the admin bar when the plugin was enabled no matter the setting selected.

    That being said.. I can’t seem to get it to replicate this morning. Performing the same tests that I did last night and it seems to be working as excected. The only real difference I can think of is that the setting “Use Alternate Session Method” is still checked. Could it have something to do with the fact that the original session “timed out” and since I have it set to use the alternate method it is no long causing a conflict?

    The alternate session method does involve adding the session ID to the URL, and if such a URL is opened on another machine right away, it’s possible the ID would be accepted and make it look like the user is logged in. This effect is temporary, as you have seen.

    Have you tested it with the alternate method disabled?
